Internships

Our goal with the CAFES Internship Program is to create a uniquely beneficial experience for both students and agricultural employers with the assistance of faculty coordinators. We listen closely to our student's career aspirations, and work hard to find the perfect fit with local, regional and national organizations who are seeking to employ top quality candidates.

Not all CAFES majors require an internship, but all programs strongly recommend one. Nearly all CAFES internships are paid experiences.
